Question

select the correct answer. which phrases correctly complete this sentence? el actor ____, mientras el tramoyista ____. a. memoriza los diálogos, ensaya las escenas b. baila en puntillas, memoriza los diálogos c. ensaya las escenas, prepara la escenografía d. dirige la obra, ensaya las escenas

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the roles of an actor and a stagehand (tramoyista) in a theatrical context. An actor's typical tasks include memorizing dialogues and rehearsing scenes. Let's check the options:

• Option A: "memoriza los diálogos, ensaya las escenas" (memorizes dialogues, rehearses scenes) fits an actor's role. The stagehand's role (though the second part is about the actor here) is not conflicting with this actor's tasks.
• Option B: "baila en puntillas, memoriza los diálogos" – dancing on tiptoes is not a typical main actor task, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: "ensaya las escenas, prepara la escenografía" – preparing scenography is a stagehand or set designer's job, not an actor's, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: "dirige la obra, ensaya las escenas" – directing the play is a director's job, not an actor's, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

A. memoriza los diálogos, ensaya las escenas
